Contract BasicsA contract is: a legally binding
document that defines the rights
and obligations of the parties and
sets “ground rules.”
Necessity of Written Contract Clarity, completeness, and common understanding is essential;
Supersedes previous oral discussions or “how we’ve always done it;”
After contract signed, if wish to change it, conversations or e-mails to change the contract are not sufficient. Changes to contracts (amendments) must be in writing and signed by the parties;
Contract must be signed before (!) the parties begin performing duties
under the contract - Good practice and state law requires
Good Contracts are Preventative Care:
Easier to work out issues before signing contract than to leave things unaddressed or “silent” and risk breaching the contract and/or litigation later.
Examples of Non Contracts
Letters of intent;
Verbal and “hand shake” agreements;
Unauthorized deals or unauthorized signers;
Jumping the gun or taking action before a written agreement;
Gifts.
Common MnSCU Contracts Requests for bid, proposal issues
Nondisclosure agreements

http://www.mnscu.edu/board/policy/index.html
Board Policy 5.14 Contracts and Procurement
Procedure 5.14.2 Consultant, Professional or Technical Services
Procedure 5.14.5 Purchasing
NEW / IMPORTANT: Board Policy 5.14 Subd. 3 changes:
Subpart C. Board approval required
Any procurement, lease agreement, or professional/technical/consulting service contract with a value in excess of $1,000,000 or contract amendment that would increase the total value of a contract to more than $1,000,000 must be approved in advance by the Board.
Delegation of Authority
Board Policy 1A.2.2 http://www.mnscu.edu/board/procedure/1a02p2.html
Process and forms on Finance website http://www.finance.mnscu.edu/about/delegationofauthority/index.html
Ask: Does the person signing the contract have written delegated authority to legally bind the college/university? If not sure, check with your campus business office or administrator.
Encumbrance** Mn. Stat. 16A .15 Subd. 3 & MnSCU Procedure 5.14.2 Part 4 Funds must be encumbered prior to making an obligation.
Has work begun prior to contract’s full execution? That is not allowed per Minnesota
law. No signed contract without encumbrance.
Process an MS16A.15 Form, found at: http://www.finance.mnscu.edu/contracts-
purchasing/contracts/forms/index.html #1
An authorized employee must certify that the accounting system shows sufficient
allotment or encumbrance balance in the fund, allotment, or appropriation to meet it.
College, university, and system office administration must assure proper authorization is on
file for employees charged with encumbering funds.
An expenditure or obligation authorized or incurred prior to encumbering funds is in
violation of state law and ineligible for payment until made valid and is in violation of
Minnesota Statutes Ch. 16A15, Subd. 3.
Statute and MnSCU policy: An employee authorizing or making the payment, or taking part
in it, may be liable to the state for the amount paid. A knowing violation of Minnesota
Statutes Ch. 16A.15, Subd. 3, is just cause for the employee's removal.
PrepaymentIF NOT LISTED BELOW, PREPAYMENT IS NOT ALLOWED.
MN Statute 16A.065 prohibits the system office and the colleges and universities from paying in advance.
Board Policy 5.14.5 Part 6 allows prepayment:
1) Software or software maintenance contracts;
2) Sole source maintenance agreements;
3) Exhibit booth space and boat slip rental;
4) Subscription fees for newspapers or magazines;
5) Registration fees where advance payment is required or there is a discount for advance payment;
6) Library of Congress services.
Human Rights Requirements over $100k and $500k
NEW: The Women’s Economic Security Act (WESA) now requires Equal Pay Certificates for large state contractors with contracts over $500,000. This requirement now applies to all solicitations on or after August 1, 2014. The Equal Pay Certificate, and the existing Workforce Certificate of Compliance, are both administered by the Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MDHR). RFP and Prof./Technical Contract language revised to include requirements.
Remains important: For all contracts estimated to be in excess of $100,000, all responding vendors are required to complete Exhibit B, the Human Rights Certification Information and Affirmative Action Data Page, and submit it with the response. All responding vendors shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Minnesota Affirmative Action law, Minnesota Statutes §363.A36. Failure to comply shall be grounds for rejection.
(Contact OGC or AGO if questions of applicability or non-Minnesota vendor applicability.)
Data Practices Act “The requirements of Minnesota Statutes § 13.05, subd. 11 apply to this contract. The
CONTRACTOR and MnSCU must comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13, as it applies to all data provided by MnSCU in accordance with this contract, and as it applies to all data, created, collected, received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated by the CONTRACTOR in accordance with this contract. The civil remedies of Minnesota Statute §13.08 apply to the release of the data referred to in this clause by either the CONTRACTOR or MnSCU. In the event the CONTRACTOR receives a request to release the data referred to in this clause, the CONTRACTOR must immediately notify MnSCU. MnSCU will give the CONTRACTOR instructions concerning the release of the data to the requesting party before the data is released."
Updated Instruction: If the services provided by Contractor include access to, storage, or transmission of education records, education data, or private personnel data, contact the Office of General Counsel for additional contract provisions regarding data security. If you have any other privacy concerns about this contract, please contact the Office of General Counsel.
Don't delete or revise data practices language included in the template. If you have questions, please seek guidance from OGC or AG Office.
Data Notice to Vendors (updated) As a condition of this contract, CONTRACTOR is required by Minn. Stat. §270C.65
to provide a social security number, a federal tax identification number or Minnesota tax identification number. This information may be used in the enforcement of federal and state tax laws. These numbers will be available to federal and state tax authorities and state personnel involved in approving the contract and the payment of state obligations. Supplying these numbers could result in action to require CONTRACTOR to file state tax returns and pay delinquent state tax liabilities. This contract will not be approved unless these numbers are provided.
Independent Contractors. Minn. Stat. §256.998 requires MnSCU to report the name, address and social security number of independent contractors to the New Hire Reporting Center of the Minnesota Department of Human Services unless this Contract is for less than two months in duration with gross earnings of less than $250.00 per month. This information may be used by state or local child support enforcement authorities in the enforcement of state and federal child support laws.
Confidentiality Clauses Proposed by Other Party May be overbroad:
Can’t agree to keep everything confidential
Alternative language available if needed
Often, a CONTRACTOR will ask that MnSCU promise to maintain the confidentiality of CONTRACTOR’s materials or even the terms of the contract itself.
We can’t do that unless the materials in question are classified as private, confidential or protected nonpublic under the Data Practices Act.
“Trade Secret Information” may also be withheld from disclosure. It is defined in Minn. Stat. § 13.37, subd. 1 (b): ) "Trade secret information" means government data, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process (1) that was supplied by the affected individual or organization, (2) that is the subject of efforts by the individual or organization that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy, and (3) that derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use.”
Indemnification and Liability (Always Important) Be alert for sections in other parties’ contracts headed:
Hold Harmless; Indemnification; Limitations on Liability; or Liabilities.
Indemnification: a provision in the contract in which one party agrees to pay damages or claims that the other party may be required to pay to another.
Hold Harmless: a type of indemnity provision or clause that would require one party to fully protect the other party from a claim asserted by another. This may also include payment of costs and/or attorneys fees.
Colleges and universities prohibited by law from agreeing to indemnify the other party to a contract (reference: Minnesota Constitution article XI, section 1 and Minnesota Statutes section 16A.138). Minnesota Statutes prohibit insurance of an obligation without an encumbrance and the Minnesota Constitution provides that no money is to be paid out without an appropriation.

Single Source Policy The State Single Source Policy can be found at:
http://www.mmd.admin.state.mn.us/pdf/SingleSourcePolicy.pdf
Minn. Stat. 16C.02, Subd. 18: “Single source” means an acquisition where, after a search, only one supplier is determined to be reasonably available for the required product, service, or construction item.
Single source justification is not required for interagency agreements.
The burden of proof is on the agency to justify single source procurements.
Documentation of the basis for a single source determination shall be retained in the contract file.
The documentation is public information.
An agency may be required to justify its single source procurement in cases of audits, vendor protests, media or legislative inquiries and litigation.

Not a MnSCU Form or Template? College/university must review for essential elements, prohibited provisions,
practicality and business decisions;
Don’t assume that a provision suggested by a party can’t be changed or modified;
If other party wants to use its contract form, consult with MnSCU Office of General Counsel or Attorney General’s Office for legal review and possible negotiation and recommended changes, or drafting addendum or amendment;
Use most current template directly from Finance website each time you draft to avoid use of outdated forms.

MnSCU Intellectual Property Policies Policy 3.26 – Intellectual Property
Procedure 3.26.1 Patent Inquiry Procedure
Policy 3.27 – Copyrights
Procedure 3.27.1 Copyright Clearance.
Employees and students are responsible for clearing copyright of materials before use.
Copyright FAQs http://www.copyright.mnscu.edu/faq/faqs_permission.html
Copyright Permission Request Form & Letter
http://www.copyright.mnscu.edu/forms/index.html
Intellectual Property Ownership By law, the creator is usually the owner.
Board Policy approaches ownership differently. Policy 3.26, Part 4 sets forth basic ownership categories and default expectations:
1. Institutional works
2. Scholarly works
3. Personal works
4. Students works
It may be impossible to identify ownership after the fact. Get agreements in place early.
Modifications of Basic IP Ownership Rights If there is no agreement, ownership is determined by a number
of factors present in the situation.
This result may be surprising / unsatisfactory.
Modification may produce more desirable results.
A written agreement is the desired way to modify policy-driven result (Board Policy 3.26, Part 4, Subpart B). These may include:
Joint Creation & Ownership Agreements
Specially Commissioned Work Agreement
Sponsored Research agreements
IP Assignments
License Agreements

Facilities & Construction Related Contracts
http://www.finance.mnscu.edu/facilities/design-construction/pm_emanual/index.html
NOTE: Policies and procedures relating to facilities design and construction contracts are addressed in Board Policy 6.5, Capital Program Planning.
Every campus has a construction program manager in the system office assigned to their campus to assist individual campus staff with policy, procedural, technical, and contract items related to design or construction.
Construction Program Managers names and contact information, list of assigned campuses can be found at:
http://www.finance.mnscu.edu/facilities/design-construction/responsibilities/index.html
Lead Time Plan accordingly– expect the best and
plan for the worst.
Use System templates and forms.
Allow time for negotiation.
Answer questions, WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, HOW MUCH.
Pay attention to contract end dates, especially if wanting to amend the contract! “Amend before end.”
Not every contract can be an emergency.
Who Can Call for Legal Services?
President determines internal process, who on campus is authorized to seek legal advice.
Some matters may be resolved at policy level
But legal counsel may need to contact others on campus for information, etc.
Generally, advice is given only to administrators in order to protect attorney/client privilege.
Callers are directed to other appropriate resources as needed—e.g., labor relations.
How to Help Your Lawyer do the Best Possible Job For You Inform the attorney of any deadlines, timelines
Plan ahead/consult early to avoid “emergencies” accordingly
Identify others who may have information helpful to resolution or issue or need to be consulted
Tell the attorney the background or context and why you are asking, rather than asking “Can you tell me if its legal to do X, Y, Z?” Attorneys need context and may spot other concerns.
Attorney/Client Privilege and Communication Legal advice provided by AGO, OGC generally protected by attorney/client
privilege, work product.
Privilege belongs to board of trustees, chancellor as governing authorities of system—
Staff do no have authority on their own to share privileged information, communication with others.
Consult with legal counsel before forwarding emails, documents to others.
OOC, campus administrators who receive legal advice must take care to protect privilege.
Don’t discuss privileged matters with others while trying to sort through advice received
Ask (!) before forwarding OGC/AGO emails or correspondence.
What You Can Do to Help It’s a two way street: Ask not only what your lawyer can do for you, but what you can do for
your lawyer to help you
Practice preventative law when possible
Include current facts, any past history, impressions or concerns about those involved, other factors that may affect the situation
Disclose who else you have talked to about the situation (including any other attorneys)
If you don’t know the attorney, explain your title/role at the college/university
Give the attorney the complete story
Follow through with what the attorney asks you to do. Consult with attorney if problems develop or circumstances change.
Gather requested information and do not share with anyone other than the attorney requesting the information.
If there are “other facts” that may impact a business relationship, decisions, compensation or “how something will work,” let the attorney know.
Consider if you need to consult others within MnSCU (other campuses and system office staff and those in MnSCU familiar with the subject matter).
Refer calls, correspondence from “opposing” counsel to AGO/OGC
Contract Manager and Management Understand your campus contract process for reviews, approval, and contract
management.
The person responsible for…
Knowing the duties and deliverable timelines;
Developing a contract administration plan;
Monitoring and reporting contract performance;
Monitoring the contract budget;
Negotiating contract changes and resolving disputes;
Closing the contract upon completion or termination.
Contract Management should remain ongoing for the duration of the contract to ensure work is satisfactory, and the contract is being adhered to.
If work is unsatisfactory, consider termination according to the contract terms. Consult AG or OGC for guidance.
WHAT REMAINS IMPORTANT Before You Finalize and Sign!
1. Description of goods/services to be received by C/U/system office?
Clear and understandable description of the subject of the contract. Limit use of highly
technical terms and jargon when possible.
2. Contractor’s legal name, full address (not a P.O. Box), phone, email, fax? Verify current information.
3. Contact person(s) for contractor, name, address, phone, fax, email address?
Verify current information, especially if anything differs from (2).
4. Date contract is to begin?
This may or may not be the date the contract is signed, however standard MnSCU contracts state “whichever occurs later.” Do not begin work until the contract is “effective.”
WHAT REMAINS IMPORTANT (cont.)5. Date contract ends?
This refers to date the contract would normally end unless terminated earlier for any reason. Please read your contract for termination date. (Resuscitation of dead contracts problems.)
6. Other important dates (deadlines, mileposts, reports due, etc.)?
Dates should be clearly identified. Use full dates (ex: “June 3, 2012”) whenever possible.
7. Have funds been encumbered prior to execution of contract?
If the work or obligation has already started prior to the execution of the contract complete the Minn. Stat. 16 A form found on the contracts website. By law, contracts must be in place prior to MnSCU taking on an obligation.
8. Procedure for renewal clearly identified and understood?
Avoid “automatic renewals” or trigger periods to terminate or extend. MnSCU contracts cannot extend beyond 5 years without additional authorizations. Agreeing to “auto renew” may require additional contract management/monitoring.
WHAT REMAINS IMPORTANT (cont.)9. Clear description of amounts of money or other consideration for
contract?
Partial payments should be stated with due dates; amount tied to other amounts (e.g., deliverables, percentages) should be stated in clear terms.
10. Rights, obligations, duties of every party clearly listed?
Each party’s responsibilities identified in understandable wording.
11. Time and place for performance of work or services?
If performance of work or service extends over a period of time, include due dates if necessary.
12. If insurance is required, types and levels of coverage listed?
The MnSCU Director of Risk Management and the State of Minnesota Risk Management office should be consulted if there are questions about the levels of coverage and/or carriers.
WHAT REMAINS IMPORTANT (cont.)
13. Indemnification, liquidated damages, attorney’s fees, waiver of contractor’s liability, waiver of statutes of limitations, pre-payment for services clauses.
(1) These types of clauses are not allowable because of state constitutional restrictions. Notify contractor that these must be deleted.
(2) AFTER attempting to have these deleted, if contractor refuses to comply, contact System Legal Counsel (OGC or Attorney General’s Office) for further assistance.
14. Governed by laws of the State of Minnesota?
MnSCU colleges/universities/system office may not agree to be governed by the laws of another state. Contact OGC/AGO if other party wants different law to control.
15. Venue for suits in court located in Ramsey County?
16. Confidentiality provisions?
MnSCU cannot agree to keep information confidential if it is subject to public disclosure under the Mn Government Data Practices Act.
WHAT REMAINS IMPORTANT (cont.)17. Assignment by either party must be approved in advance in writing.
18. Has the contract been modified or required clauses deleted without AGO or OGC review?
Use most current template directly from Finance website each time you draft to avoid use of outdated forms. Ensure no changes are made. If there are changes by the contractor, contact our system legal counsel.
19. Avoid I’ll sign yours if you sign ours!
20. Spelling, formatting, grammar, punctuation, math, and general appearance of document are professional and accurate.
MnSCU is one of the largest higher education systems in the U.S. Your work product should reflect the professionalism expected of a college or university.
Employee Code of ConductWHY IS EMPLOYEE ETHICAL BEHAVIOR IMPORTANT?
We are obligated to comply with law.
Violations can result in
criminal penalties;
employment sanctions-including termination.
Our Code is a compilation of various existing statutes and policies that govern employee conduct.
